Re: Your first impression when smoking your first cigarette/cigar

My first one was disgusting, I'm amazed I still smoke to this day, maybe it has something to do with being chemically addicted to nicotine lol! Tbh I only enjoy my first cig' of the day and one after a big meal, the rest I smoke purely out of habit. Like Scavenger said above the cost of a packet of twenty is becoming exorbitant in the UK & Ireland, I smoke embassy Regal which cost anywhere between £7.50 - £8.00 in England. I really should give up.

On the topic of smoking, a friend of mine literally smokes one cigarette every hour, maybe two or three an hour. He obsessed, and I can imagine how bad it is. He runs through packs of them like no ones business.

I smoke at about that rate too. About 1 per hour, I get through about 15 per day. Not good.

Re: Your first impression when smoking your first cigarette/cigar

My first one tasted like ass and I remember coughing. Now it's a habit. I quit for four years after I got pregnant with my first daughter. After my second one was diagnosed with Autism, I started up again. I was stressed and I caved. I can admit it. I smoke about a half a pack a day and I know I should quit, but I like it too much.

Re: Your first impression when smoking your first cigarette/cigar

Can't remember really. Was exactly 30 years ago.I'm what some call a HARDCORE smoker.Stopped a few times but came back to it.H3LL, I just love the taste of it.And I don't plan on stopping. For now that is, in the future who knows...

I smoke cigarillos occasionally. Those things are delicious, and they certainly don't taste like ass. Swisher Sweets....those and some coffee and I'm good to go.

I only smoke them occasionally though...maybe a few every 2 weeks. Now actual cigaretes, I have never picked a pack of those up before and I don't plan to. Not only are they an expense (where as it's only $1.49 for a package of two Cigarillos - which of course last longer than a cigarette), but they're of course terrible for you. And you're paying for those detrimental effects more than just willingly.

I started smoking when I was 10 years old and have tried numerous times to quit. All that happens is I lose my appetite completely to the point where it's unhealthy, and I also become unbearable. I only smoke a few cigarettes a day so it's not the most expensive.

Re: Your first impression when smoking your first cigarette/cigar

I started at 19, when I was in the army. Everyone has a vice in the service; cigarettes, or chewing sunflower seeds, or chewing tobacco, or dipping snuff...everybody does something. I picked up smoking more out of curiosity than anything, and it just stuck. That nicotine's a tough bitch to kick, man. In all my experience as an addiction counselor I honestly think nicotine is harder to kick than narcotics like crack or heroin. Nicotine may not make you want to sell your baby or steal your neighbor's hubcaps but that doesn't make it any easier to stop.
